Roses Glassworks History -
Originally started
as a stained glass and antique shop “The Back Porch” was
purchased in 1997, by Larry Cartales. The business was renamed Rose’s
Glassworks and Gifts.
Purchased March
1, 2007 by Pam and Mitch McDougal, the name has again changed to Roses
Glassworks because of the couple’s fondness for the “City
of Roses”.
In 2008, Pam and Mitch changed the name once more to Roses Glassworks Art Glass
School to reflect an emphasis on teaching fun and exciting classes in addition
to selling a wide range of art glass supplies.
The studio is undergoing a wonderful transformation with more inventory, new
looks and customer service, with energy and integrity.
